Washington, D.C.– Congressman Henry Cuellar (TX-28) released the following  statement on the historic election of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris:

“Congratulations to President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris on winning this hard-fought race! With the election now over, we shall now put hostility and anger aside and work to heal this nation. We need to come together, not as Democrats or Republicans, but as Americans.

“In a Biden administration, we will restore civility, decency, and compassion within the office. In a Biden administration, we will defeat this virus and build back our economy. In a Biden administration, we will protect and expand the Affordable Care Act to make sure everyone has access to quality health care. In a Biden administration, we will implement strong and smart border security that does not include an ineffective and wasteful border wall.

“Together, we will fight for the American people. Let’s get to work.”
